Network printing environment

Xerox Client Software: Provides a print command for submitting jobs and specifying print options. The functionality of the print command is dependent on the TCP/IP software installed on the workstation.

Xerox DocuPrint Document Submission Client software for the Macintosh: Provides a graphical user interface for submitting jobs and specifying print options.

Xerox DocuPrint Print Submission software for Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000: Provides graphical user interfaces for submitting jobs and specifying print options.

Internet Printing Protocol for Windows 2000: Allows job submission over the Internet.

In many cases, the workstation can be set up for more than one method of job submission.

The application software provides the capability to print the document using a page description language (PDL). The application produces print data in one of the supported page description language formats, for example PostScript level 2.

Communicating with the network

After the print data has been prepared for printing and combined with print options data—either by the application software or by a print job submission utility—the print job is sent over the network.

The printer supports TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and Novell NetWare network communications protocols.

Client workstations require a network software utility that submits the job using the appropriate network protocol. This software must be installed and running for jobs to be submitted successfully to the printer. Once this software is installed, its operation is transparent to the user.

The Macintosh uses Printer Access Protocol (PAP) to communicate with one or more DocuPrint printers. For convenience, your internet may be divided into zones. A zone can be any logical grouping of individual workstations and printers. Your network administrator defines your zone when setting up the network.
